...provide the missing piece to the puzzle...

...and release the gift of reading.

Magic
or Silent "e"

The rules of current
English spelling were
first set forth by
Richard Mulcaster in his
1582 publication
Elementarie. Mulcaster
called silent e
"qualifying e", and
wrote of it:

It altereth the sound of all the vowells, euen quite thorough
one or mo consonants as, máde, stéme, éche, kínde, strípe, óre,
cúre, tóste sound sharp with the qualifying E in their end:
whereas, màd, stèm, èch, frind, strip, or, cut, tost, contract
of tossed sound flat without the same E, And therefor the same
loud and sharp sound in the word, calleth still for the
qualifying e, in the end, as the flat and short nedeth it not.
It qualifyeth no ending vowell, bycause it followeth none in the
end, sauing i. as in daie, maie, saie, trewlie, safetie, where
it maketh i, either not to be heard, or verie gentlie to be
heard, which otherwise wold sound loud and sharp, and must be
expressed by y. as, deny, aby, ally. Which kinde of writing
shalbe noted hereafter. It altereth also the force of, c, g, s,
tho it sound not after them, as in hence, for that, which might
sound henk, if anie word ended in c. in swinge differing from
swing, in vse differing from vs.

From Left to Write
-What is Dyslexia?"...by
failing to nurture the
young dyslexics...and
help them to develop in
the way they are meant
to develop rather than
trying to turn them into
something else, we are
missing out on a huge
opportunity for
developing some of the
most creative minds in
our society...
